They'll relish a tilt at the mighty Vins. These are magical times for the much respected club. Sonny days are here again.

VERDICT: St Vincent's

Treacys hold key for Cuala

GROUP 2: CUALA v LUCAN SARSFIELDS

(O'TOOLE PARK, TONIGHT, 7.15)

CUALA were bubbling against Ballinteer St John's. David Treacy bagged a hat-trick of goals.

His brother, Seán, hit two goals. Even the Da, John, the prince of full-backs and former Dublin captain, would have found it difficult to contain this pair.

Cuala scored a stunning seven goals. That's a rarity in senior hurling. Things will be much, much tighter tonight.

Lucan have a nice mix about them. No lack of wisdom. Damian Fox guided them to the first final in 2013.

They lost to O'Toole's in last year's quarter-final. They drew with Faughs the last day. There should be some lovely hurling in this one but Cuala look to carry the greater firepower between the Treacys and Mark Schutte.
